Business houses in Hyderabad now have a digital edge over their
counterparts in other cities.
They can now showcase the interiors, décor, mechandise in 360 degree
view pictures on the web, thanks to Google extending its pilot project
– "business photos" to the city.
Hyderabad will be the first city in India to get this project, while
it will be rolled out to other cities shortly, Google announced in its
blog.
Currently, Google is running trial of business photos facility in 30
cities in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand,
France, Canada, The Netherlands, Ireland and Japan.
By uploading the 360 degree view pictures of the premises on Google
Places, business establishments will be able to showcase what's on the
offer to the prospective customers checking out Google Places.
Those browsing Google Places, will also have an insidelook at the
interior of the business house. Currently, Google is focussing on
restaurants, cafes, hotels, spas, salons, gyms and retail stores.
"The photographs are shot byGoogle appointed photographers who work
directly with the business owner to arrange a time to do the photo
shoot.
The images will show prospective customers the interiors, décor,
merchandise – and all of this will be done at no cost to the business
owner. The panoramic photoswill appear alongside other still photos on
a business' Place Page and can help potential customers get a better
sense of what an establishment has to offer and if they'd like to
visit it in person", Google senior product manager, Rahul Kulkarni
wrote on Google Blog. Companies interested in getting featured on
